Same Form Multiple Time on One Page, Tab Index Not Working

I've looked through the forum and there are solutions for tab index working properly when there are multiple DIFFERENT forms on the same page. But there aren't any solution I can find for having ONE form multiple times on the same page and getting the tab index to work properly. Any solutions.

Here's a link to the page (http://www.faronics.com/news/events/) When you click on any of the 'meet us' hyperlinks you have to tab 3 times to reach the next field since there are technically 3 of the same form on that page. Any help would be much appreciated!

I don't think having the same multiple times on one page is a good idea:

Do the submissions work properly? Because you basically want them all submitted to the same form anyway, with just different "meet us" events recorded in the submission?

We seem to be having the same problem, http://www.ppirefundsuk.co.uk we have two forms on one page, one at the top and one in the footer.

Any solutions to this?

Looks like you're having a different problem actually. You have form 7 in the footer and form 8 at the top? So, you do not have the same problem (which was the same form being inserted multiple times.)

There is a little overlap between indexes for your two forms. The tabindex should be reset for one of your forms. It will be a little easier to set the tabindex using the shortcode in version 1.6 (which is in beta now) but currently, you will have to use the gform_tabindex filter to change the tabindex for one of your forms. The code will be added to your theme's functions.php.

If either of these forms is in a widget, you can set the tabindex in the widget settings instead (I did not see anything about widgets in the source so I don't think this applies to you.)

refreshed my page and nothing changed, here is the url http://www.alternative-assurance.com

@jean you're using two different forms, which should work just fine. Can you post your functions.php at pastie.org or pastebin.com so we can take a look? Post the whole file if possible. Thanks.

OK, I see what you did there. You changed the starting tabindex to 4 for all forms on your site. You need to use it like this instead:
```
[php]
add_filter("gform_tabindex_3", create_function("", "return 9;"));
```
That will set the starting tabindex for form 3 (your bottom form) to 9, which will allow 1 through 8 on the first form.
